We recently published a list of Top 8 Trending AI News Updates Investors Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where RTX Corp. (NYSE:RTX) stands against other top trending AI news updates investors should not miss.
As AI takes over industries worldwide, the technology has begun replacing the redundant human workforce, as popular banks reveal plans to shrink headcount amid rapid AI adoption. The lightning-fast takeover of AI is also reflected in OpenAI’s claims that it now serves 400 million weekly active users, a 100 million jump in users since December 2024.
Scale AI CEO and founder Alexander Wang said at the Web Summit Qatar 2025 that the US and China are leading in AI preparedness.
“Nearly every country in the world, or nearly every company in the world, will ultimately likely build AI technology on top of either the US technology stack or that of the Chinese technology stack,” Wang noted.
Elsewhere, the surging demand for AI infrastructure has prompted South Korea to build the world’s biggest AI data center with a 3 GW capacity by 2028. The $10 billion project is expected to commence construction in H2 2025 and generate revenues of $2.5 billion annually.
“This is more than just a technological milestone; it’s a strategic leap forward for Korea’s global technological leadership. We are incredibly proud to partner with Stock Farm Road and the Jeollanam-do government to build this crucial infrastructure, creating an unprecedented opportunity to build the foundation for next-generation AI.”
-said SFR co-founder Dr Amin Badr-El-Din

On February 24th, the company announced that it had completed flight testing of the first AI/ML-driven Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) system for a fourth-generation aircraft. RTX Corp. (NYSE:RTX) highlighted that its Cognitive Algorithm Deployment System (CADS) combines next-gen Embedded Graphics Processing Unit with Deepwave Digital’s computing stack to facilitate the integration of AI models into Raytheon’s legacy RWR systems for AI/ML processing at the sensor. As a result, CADS can employ cognitive methods to locate, identify, and prioritize threats, improving aircrew survivability.
“The advantages of AI in defense systems are extensive, and our recent CADS test demonstrates how commercially available products, paired with advanced algorithms and cognitive methods, can help the U.S. and its allies outpace peer threats. CADS’ ability to quickly process data and run third-party algorithms that prioritize threats, with almost no latency, will significantly enhance survivability for military personnel.”
